Section 5. Split

Heading and Column Headings from being printed at the bottom of the report.
The “left over” summary data will still be printed.

No Record Numbers from TOB Files – Split automatically converts TOB
(binary) files to ASCII prior to being processed. When this check box is
selected, the record numbers will not be included in the converted file. This
will affect the element numbers used for the Start, Stop, Copy, or Select fields
of the PAR (e.g., if a file has a timestamp, record number, and data value,
when this check box is selected the data value would be element 2. When the
check box is cleared, the data value would be element 3).

Report Headings

A report is output to a printer or file with the extension .RPT. Headings are not
included in the standard output to disk (.PRN or user named extension output
file). However, a report can be labeled with a header by entering text into the
Report Heading field. A report heading can have several lines, but it is limited
to a total of 253 characters including backslashes and carriage returns. “\”
characters break the report heading into multiple lines.

When Time Series functions are used in the Select field without an interval,
they appear as a final summary at the end of the report. They can be labeled by
entering a title into the Time Series Heading field at the bottom of the Output
File page. Time Series interval summaries cannot be assigned individual titles
directly, but you can use special functions such as “Label” and “Crlf” to create
column headings and special formatting.

“PCDATE” within the Report Heading inserts the computer’s current date
(Month-Day-Year). For the European format (Day-Month-Year), enter
“PCEDATE”.

Column Headings

Up to three lines per column can be entered as column headings. These
headings are limited to a length of one less than the Output field width.

Column headings associated with Time Series outputs are repeated for Final
Summaries if a title for the Final Summary is requested on the headings for
report line.

The number of digits to report to the right of the decimal point is entered in the
Decimal field and can be set independently for each column. The value output
will be rounded to the specified number of digits. Leave this field blank if you
do not want to round the data to a specific number of digits.

Column headings can be entered using Split’s Data Labels Function (Labels |
Use Data Labels).
